Linfield Ladies drawn against RSC Anderlecht in UEFA Women’s Champions League

Linfield Ladies have been drawn away to Belgian side RSC Anderlecht in the UEFA Women’s Champions League first qualifying round.

The game will take place on November 3/4 in Brussels in a single-legged tie. 

The Blues have previous history with Anderlecht as they met in Brussels in the 2019-20 tournament with Filip de Winne's side coming out 3-1 winners. 

Kirsty McGuinness scored a 55th minute penalty after defender Laura Deloose scored a double for the home side before Jana Coryn added a third. 

During that campaign Linfield also won their first ever match in the Champions League as they shocked Greek champions Paok. 

McGuinness, who has since moved on to Sion Swifts from Windsor Park, scored a last minute penalty.

Should Linfield progress they will find out their second qualifying round opponents on November 6.

Meanwhile Northern Ireland International Lauren Wade faces a home tie against Republic of Ireland opposition Peamount United with her Glasgow City side. 

City reached the quarter-finals last season before losing out to runners up VFL Wolfsburg 9-1. 

Glasgow started their Scottish Women's Premier league campaign with a 2-0 win over Celtic on Sunday with Rachel McLaughlan and Kirsty Howat.
